Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-xgl
Please remove the xserver-xgl package source and xserver-xgl binary packages from Intrepid Universe.
Justification:
*) Xgl is no longer useful for the vast majority of Ubuntu users. All free drivers which have enough 3D support to run Xgl now also support the GL_EXT_
*) Xgl is all but abandoned upstream. It has been removed from the master branch of xorg git, and the last update to the xgl-0-0-1 branch was six months ago.
*) The xserver-xgl package fails to build from source, and, with the removal of the mesa-swrast-source package from the mesa packaging, will require at least a copy of the mesa source be added to its source tarball before it will build, probably an old copy.
xserver-xgl has no rdepends.
